New York, Oct. 14. Richard A. Mc
Curdy. president of the Mutual, does
not look his 70 years. He Is quite as
epry as his son Kobert, general man
ager of Tils company.
McCurdy said that he was very
much complimented when his commit
tee on salaries Increased his annual
stipend f.om $100,000 to $150,000. He
was worth that amount, he pro
claimed; else his committee would
not have given it to him.
The president of the Mutual faces
the Investigators much as the average
man would sit on a dock, letting his!
legs- hang over to the lapping water, i
Inquisitor. Hughes would propound
his question and McCurdy would de
liberate. When he had the answer
framed the way he wanted it, he would
reply, always the same way, quiet,
self-sufficient, unalarmed.
Maybe McCurdy was not anxloua

OF THE GREAT EVENT.
New York, Oct. 14. The second in

today over the famous Nassau circuit
on Long Island. For many weeks
everything baa been prepared for the
great event, and when the first car
started over the circuit this morning,
every expert in automobile racing ad
mitted that the arrangements we:e as
nearly perfect as they could be made
nder existing conditions, and that
everything had been done, to elimin
ate, as much as possible, tho danger
of serious accidents. The twenty-nine
miles of road over which the racers
were to speed, bad been put In the
test condition and thoroughly oiled,
to prevent the stirring up of dust, in
Itself one of the greatest dangers In
race.
Notwithstanding the early hour at
which the start was made, many thou
sands of people of all classes were dis
tribute,! along the course. The grand
stand, which occupied a site on the
rise of tho hill on the Jericho turn
pike, Las: Williston, was filled with
about !! en hundred racing enthus

because of the feeling of security
which comes from his possession of
vast wealth. He Is personally worth
not a penny less than $40,000,000, and
has enoimous holdings In scores of
industrial corporations, and his real

Mr. McCurdy Is tall, erect and In

His daily routine Includes an hour's
journey in a palace car from Morris
town, to New York. The train Is
known as the "millionaire's" special.
Mr. McCuidy drives to and from his

other prominent society and sporting
men.
Five hundred men were scattered
along the route and kept a sharp
watch to prevent accidents, permit
ting nobody to trespass upon the road.
Special men were stationed at the tele
phones which had been placed at short
intervals along the road. An arrange
ment had been made with the Long
Island railroad, to keep trains from
blocking the crossing at AlberUon
and flagmen were posted at the cross
ings to prevent accidents from col
lision. For half a mile on each side
of the finish no one except those on
the official reviewing stand were al
lowed on or near the track.
It was shortly before half past six
this morning, when the powerful
racers made ready for the big race
The order of the starting had pre
viously been decided by lot and there
was no difficulty or confusion, as each
machine bore its respective number,
and was held in readiness to lii up
for the stait wlien Its turn came. The
start was made from the grand stand
north of Mineola. At the crack of the
starter's pistol at 6:30 a. m., the 120
horse power Mercedes car, entered by
Kobert Graves, of the German team,
ami driven by .lenatzky, leaped over
the starting line and was soon lost
to sight. The spectators on the grand
stand cheeied enthusiastically when
the first machine started on Its course
and every one of the machines came
in for lis share of cheering, but the
American cars received more than
their bhare.
Duray, on a 130-horse power Do Dis

was the second to cross the line, and
he, in tu:n, was followed by Dingley,
on a CO-horse power Pope-Toledo, en
tered by A. L. Pope. Then followed
Lancia, the gTeat racer, on an Italian
Fiat car of 110-horse power, enterul
by Hollander & Tangemann. Every
thing went like clock work, and there
was not the slightest bitch in thd
starting. One after another the putt
ing and snorting machines were re
leased by the starter's pistol, and
sped away like miniature tornadoes.

HOW THE COTTON
SITUATION NOW IS
Nearly Two Millions Less
Acreage and 8 Per Cent.
Poorer.
MUCH DANGER OF EARLY FROST
New York.Oct. 14.-In their weekly
letter on tho cotton situation, Miller
& Co. say: While admitting that
weather conditions during September
have been unusually favorable, we are
not among those who jump to tho
hasty conclusion that a full yield Is
thereby guaranteed. It must be re
membered that there Is a great deal
of late and green cotton In the western
half of the belt, which would never
mature, should an early frost come.
The possibility of an eaily frost will,
necessarily, make the market nervous
and erratic for some time, until tho
danger point is passed. The season
in the past which bears the closest
resemblance to the present year was
that of PJU3. It Is Interesting to note
that the average of the condition re
ported during the five mouths from
June to October, is 74. ti this year, as
against 75.4 In 1WU3. It becomes ap
parent, that the average condition
this yea:- is 0.8 per cenj poorer, while
the acreage is 1,'joo.oimj less; the offi
cial estimate for l'J03 of land under
cotton cultivation was 28,907,000
acres, against 20,!ci9,0OO this year. K.
S. Peters, late vice president of the
Southern Cotton Orowers' associtlon,
has advised the farmers in Texas to
sell their cotton, expressing the belief
that the crop outlook has Improved
from S!5 to 35 per cent during Sep -
t ember, but it lemalns to be seen
whether this advice will have any ef-
feet upon the market.

HEROIC W02K OF STEWARDESS
New York, Oct. 14. Five steerage
passengers on the Campania were car
ried overboard by a great wave that,
swept over the ship last Wednesday.
None of thorn were rescued. About
thirty other steerage passengers were
injured, some of them seriously. TlTe
Campania was ploughing along under
full headway In a heavy quartering
tea, but the weather was not unpleas
nnt and the steerage deck was covered
with merrymakers, when suddenly th
big siilp lurched to port and scooped
up an enormous sea.
The wave swept clear across the
steerage deck, completely filling the
fspace between that deck and the deck
above. So great was the force of th
water that a door in the rail waa
broken and through the opening at
least five helpless victims were swept
to death. Others were dashed against
the rails and other obstructions. Pas
sengers on the upper deckB saved
themselves, while the water dashed
around them, by clinging to support.
John Uraham, of Milwaukee, was
one of the passengers lost. The other
were two Irish girls, a Danish boy
and a man of unknown nationality.
Miss Cotes, the. stewardess, nd a
deck steward, heroically saved the
lives of several children who were be
ing washed toward the opening In the
rail.
Agnes Carlsen, a young Swedish
woman, who suffered a fracture of
both thighs and also Internal In
juries, died In the ship's hospital an
nour before the Campania was docked
today.
PRESIDENT GREER
SADLY MISTAKEN .
In the Interview of President W. H.
Greer of the fair association. In th
Morning Journal, that gentleman is
entirely wrong when he states that the
executive committee,, by Its action .
of Thursday night,' had Telleved film
and the seeretary-of all responsibility '
of devising means for meeting the ds-
nctt of the fair association. The spe
cial committee chosen by the execu
tive committee, of which D. A. Mae-
pherson was chairman, was selected
for the purpose of auditing toe mo- '
counts and examining Into tbe man
agement of the fair for this year, an
to make Its report to the executive) '
committee, which It did, and whe
this was done rts labors were ended.
It Is difficult to understand how presi
dent Greer could state that the presi
dent and secretary no longer have any
responsibility in arranging to meet tb
deficit, as this matter baa never been
taken out of their hands, and It in
surely np to them to do everything in
their power to see that the Indebted
ness of the association Is paid as soon
as possible. At the meeting Thurs
day night the president and secretary
were both asked If they had any
scheme to offer whereby the deficit
could be met, but neither offered any
suggestion. In fact, the president par
ticularly appeared very Indifferent.
